Aside from the appalling spelling of our goalscorer, it sums up kind of what we all knew.
First half vs Chelsea we made them play a back 5 who were scared to venture into our half, and then overran the midfield so they created next to nothing.
Second half we gave the wingbacks creative freedom and the numerical advantage we had in the midfield had gone due to the support Kante/Matic received from Moses & Alonso.

Too many of our players seen jaded at this early stage of the season.

Someone on here was saying that Poch's system is vital to a full summer break. Meaning that the Euro's has seriously affected the team.
Wonder if that means we are 6-8 weeks behind where we should be, and then will pick up in terms of performance in a few weeks time.

Basic flaw in his methods then considering summer tournaments are never more than 2 years apart...

One thing I disagree with is Ali being the one who didn't track his man as it was definitely Son

Actually, having plowed thru this Ballaytics, I don't believe a word of its analysis. Players just get tired and sometimes lose the plot.
Agree N'Koudou should have been brought on a lot earlier.
And we sorely miss Toby in defense.
Finally, we were just unlucky ... we always seem to lack getting that second goal.

Agree. We did warn you that you would suffer a title collapse and euro 2016 hangover.
Even Sandy has given up on Spurs now

Injuries or not, the fact that we nullified Hazard and kept a reasonable check on Diego yet still lost the game is annoying.

Yes you marked Hazard out of game. With a few fouls thrown in
Costa was superb I thought
